Stereo/Mono setting?
-
Like (0)
I start a new one marked as question...
What is the sense of the Mono/Stereo switch?
I use my Vetta II HD with an Engl 412SS cab. I just use one amp of the Vetta without any stereo effects. So I decided to use it like my 2204 as a mono guitar amp. => Left/Mono jack and Vetta set to mono. But additional I have to set the Amp Panning of the used amp to "full left" th get the full volume. When I set it to middle, the sound is lower, Amp Panning to right causes NO sound.
This is the behaviour I expected of using the Stereo setting, just using the left output jack.
From the manual:
24. Left/Mono: These two jacks are wired in parallel and output the left signal (if
you’re running in stereo) or the mono signal if you’re running mono. Be sure
you’ve chosen the corresponding stereo or mono operation on the Vetta front
panel as described in page 4•35.
Mono/Stereo
This page also lets you choose to operate your Vetta in mono or stereo. This is generally
most valuable on the Vetta HD in case you’re using a mono setup, but feel free to
mono-ize your combo if that’s what makes you happy.
Changing Amp Panning
Whether you’re working with a single amp, or two at once, you have complete
control over where they’re placed in the stereo field. You may want to have your
two amps panned hard left and hard right when they’re both on (which gets really
exciting when you’re using separate left and right cabs with Vetta HD, or the Vetta
combo with an external cab in Split Stereo Mode as described on page 4•43), but
then when you kick your FBV switch to turn on only one you may want that amp to
be panned center. To edit your amps’ panning, press the Amp/Cab Details button.
Use the Page knob to select Page 2, ‘Amp Panning’:
AMP1 MIX sets the pan of Amp 1 when it and Amp 2 are both on. AMP1 ONLY
sets pan when only Amp 1 is on. Same idea for the AMP2 controls. Press Amp/Cab
Details again when you’re done, and this display will be dismissed.
Hello,
I just set up the same situation (turned the "amp model" knob to 100%, single amp, Left/mono output, set output setup to mono), and I did not experience this situation with multiple models. Please reflash your amp to see if this makes a difference.

Vettta Trouble Shooting F.A.Q.s
Hi Andy,
thank you for the response... but it's just the same effect.
I reflashed the Vetta II HD two times with the firmware 2.50. Once just the the firmware, later firmware and factory sounds.
Setting all 4 knobs of the "amp panning" page to full right will affect in NO direct sound (but silent reverb signal) while setting the stereo/mono to mono and using the left/mono output jack. Independent if both or just one amp was set to active.
Setting each Amp1Only knob to center will result in medium volume, just the full left position knob will bring me the full and best sounding volume.
Ok, I could use my 4x12 cab in stereo but I think it should be tougher to "push" one (single or mixed amp) sound through all 4 speaker instead of using two 2x12 (in one box), each for one amp. Especial, when I don't need some stereo effects - which reminds me that a stereo signal played from inside one 4x12 cab will not really be "stereo". Or am I wrong?
Any further idea?
I have the same problem. The Vetta is set to mono, but I also have to pan hard left to get the full sound from it, no sound if panned hard right.
Hmmm, is it possible that is a 2.50 bug? Mono just for the D.I.s but not for the speaker?
I found the following post from 2006 in the InstituteOfNoise forum: http://www.instituteofnoise.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=23926
Panning all sounds to the "middle" should not be the solution to get a mono signal (through the speaker), but panning all to the left.... right?
Let me look into this situation further and see what I can find.
Hi Andy, any idea so far?
Hello,
Sorry for the lapse in response. I was able to duplicate this on our Vetta I (upgraded to 2.5) HD in the office. Unfortunately the Vetta software is no longer being updated or maintained, but we will log your observation for future reference.
Stay in the mix and in the know.
